Stop to smell the flowers

We went to the iris farm today and it was beautiful weather. I would have had more fun had Hot Rod not asked over and over when it was time to go. He kept hoping for a hayride or something. But, to no avail. Gadlfy rode his motorcycle over and met us at the farm. He said he needed some "wholesome" fun. I think he just needed a good reason to stock up on his condom supply. My children tend to have that effect on my single friends.

We started off well enough. Here are the kids when we first arrived.

Hot Rod and Stinkerbelle stopped to smell some irises.


Stinkerbelle already had a rock at this point.

Gadfly picked his favorite - wing commander.

Then, the kids became more fascinated by the rocks than the flowers. Not sure where Pickle learned that move unless he has sneaked into the bedroom without us knowing it.

They did enjoy smelling the cut irises.

I love this iris.

Hot Rod loved Gadfly's helmet and the reflection it made. He said it looked like the master chief in Halo.

We didn't buy any bulbs, but I'm going to place my order. We'll pick them up in August to start planting for next spring. I'll get my mom some for Mother's Day. The gift that keeps on giving.
